Today is rent day for millions of Americans & that’s not an April fool’s joke. Without more than a $1200 one time payment coming in, millions don’t know how they’re going to pay the rent & also eat. There were already 40m hungry people in the US. Food shortages are rushing at us

Old people who live alone, who depend on others shopping for them who aren’t now available to do so. Multiply that scenario by millions & that’s what we’re dealing with. Our political leaders should be talking about this. It’s not just the virus: there’s much attendant suffering.

Millions of old people w/ caretakers not coming in, some barely able to move, many looking at a loaf of bread & wondering how long it will last. There are many heroes showing up to take care of people & we all have to be among them. Govt now at a fraction of proper response level

I am asking my lender for a hardship forbearance on my mortgage to help my tenants out: reduce our payment to interest, tax, insurance, utilities, and essential maintenance only until we are forward in the new normal. Reduce and share the burden.

Here’s what’s going down in your backyard: LA City Councilmember #CD13 @MitchOFarrell cast deciding vote last Friday against @MikeBoninLA ‘s COVID-13 #EvictionMoratorium leaving 100,000’s of Angeleno renters no protection during pandemic. Cruel? Yes. Inhumane? Yes Say something!

CARES Act adds 600/week to UI benefits. If they can't get UI benefits that means they weren't working and couldn't have made rent anyway, COVID-19 or not. If they can get UI benefits, that plus the 1200 check should more than cover rent even for high rent areas.
